Zombie Command

I’m not sure where to begin here so I’ll just launch into the synopsis from the site

Edwin and Tommy are two stoner buddies who are lone survivors of a mass zombie outbreak caused by meteorites. One day they discover a great zombie fertilizer that helps grow super potent pot. The problem is since the government has cleared out many of the major cities, there are no longer any zombies where they live. In order for them to get more zombies for fertilizer, they must go on a road trip to the “Danger Zone” where they hope to find and gather as many zombies as possible for their brains. Along the way they get captured by an evil flamboyantly gay Zombie named Alex who has a plot to organize an army of the undead in order to take over the world. Once they escape his clutches, they team up with Leah Kroaker, another lone survivor who has spent the past year of her life since the outbreak tinkering and building things on her farm. She joins the boys and builds the ultimate zombie killing machine in order to help them on their quest.”Bong of the Dead” is a fun film for anyone who is a fan of blood, guts and comedy! Its a stylistic action /comedy/ horror film that will please all those who enjoyed the classics such as “Dead Alive”.

Um…

Look, you know what, just watch the trailer.

Still interested? I’m not a big fan of the whole comedy zombies but I’ll admit there certainly looks like there’s some humour and enjoyment to be had. Zombies eating brains with chopsticks I can get behind!

The director, Thomas Newman, also had the following to say in a press release recently

Q: You mentioned that you are working on some additional footage for the film but that it is rather top secret. Without giving away the secret can you give an overview of the shoot?A: Well while we were filming Bong Of The Dead, Vinnie and I were joking about a certain sequence we always wanted to do. Well after much thought we decided it was a good idea to go ahead with it and actually do something crazy that has never been done before! Obviously it’s tough for me to tell you what we have in store without saying too much. I will say this though…the way that Bong Of the Dead is going to end will have everyone talking about it. It is something that has never been attempted with the zombie genre and I believe something that will launch us ahead of the rest once it is completed.

Gah! Now I need to watch it to find out what he is talking about. Well played Newman, well played.

Filming wrapped October 3rd and is due for realease any time now, see the official website for more details or check out our Flickr stream below for more pics.
